Summary
This fic (written several years ago) is an Investigations and Acquisitions story, set a few months after "Postern of Fate." (Thus -- diverging from canon after Season 7 "Showtime"; also including elements from Spooks, diverging after Season 2.)

Summary
This is an interstitial story in a couple of ways: in I&A terms, the opening is set after "Profit and Lace" (therefore AU after Season Seven "Showtime") and the rest, not quite three years after the I&A series story "Postern of Fate." A story of laceprigs, dreams, old wounds, and love of all kinds, written in honour of my friend Susan, who long ago told me what she wanted most out of the I&A 'verse and who loves Buffy.
Written in 2006.

Summary
NOTE: This fic began as an homage to Dorothy L. Sayers’ short story "Talboys," and if you look very closely around the edges, you will see some very small traces of that originating point. However, in the writing it went somewhere rather different.
This is Investigations and Acquisitions future-fic, set just over seven years past "Postern of Fate." It’s a cold Devon December; at their cottage Swallow’s Nest, Giles, Anya, and their son David await grown-up Dawn and a visitor from the Watchers’ Council. But something else might be visiting....
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Besides Joss and the creators of Spooks, of course? Dorothy L. Sayers, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the Beatles.

Summary
Acknowledgements go to: Joss Whedon and Co; the BBC and Russell T Davies; a classic of contemporary cinematic comedy (rest in peace, Harold Ramis); also, David Bowie and Lou Reed. Rather enormous liberties have been taken with an incident from modern English history, as well.
SUMMARY: This is an Investigations and Acquisitions story (set three years after the I&A "Postern of Fate"); all you need to know is that we went AU after Season 7 "Showtime," and Giles and Anya (married now and with a young son) live in London and run their own private occult-services firm. For Doctor Who, spoilers through "Doomsday."When worlds and time collide... who you gonna call?
(Written in 2007.)
